What appears to be a complex exploration of spirituality is to put it mildly - a lame, half-baked con-job. Mind you, the film has very strong production values, it is a well-crafted film - those alone account for my 2 stars. But the questions it tries to raise are childish and the film falls completely flat in the last hour - the filmmaker's intellectual laziness shows through as it descends to melodrama. Not that there is anything wrong with melodrama - but the film sets out on a completely different tone in the beginning. The characters are decidedly stereotypical and the stories and events are particularly predictable and boring. Frankly, the intellectual/spiritual legitimacy that such films get is unnerving.
